“Rickshaws cause major traffic snarls especially during peak hours of morning and evening. Moreover, it is risky for the rickshaw passengers when vehicles are going past them with such speed,” Sandip Rajkhowa, a resident of R G Baruah Road (commonly known as Zoo Road) informed G Plus.
Residents also mentioned that many of these rickshaw pullers do not follow traffic rules raising the chances of traffic accidents.
Further, rickshaws often stop in the middle of the road, leading to a chaotic traffic situation.
